Believe it or not, there is a mile long island a half mile away, and it cannot be seen due to forest fire smoke. The Air Quality index is currently at 1650. It is considered unsafe for anyone to be outdoors now. And I can even smell the smoke inside the house now. There are no birbs flying around the yard and not even insects are in the air.
Usually, we can blame forest fire smoke on Canada, I do live quite close to the border. But this year, it’s our own forests that are on fire. I’m about 150 miles west of the fires and the smoke caught up with us yesterday and has just gotten worse and will remain so until the fires are put out I think.
Kind of makes me glad I’m waiting on knee surgery next week and can’t walk well enough to be out and about wandering the forest.
I know this isn’t what you were getting at, but under different circumstances this property looks like it would be a little slice of heaven.
Good luck on your knee surgery.
I get to live where people want to go on vacation. Making a living is tough, not a lot of money up here and are few and mostly poor. But, man does the world look beautiful even at it’s worst. I will die at home here.
